insensitive comments

Thank you thank you thank you!! DH and I have been struggling for 3 years, and it amazes me that people cannot take it seriously! We have heard countless times, "you just need to relax, it'll happen", "go drink some red wine, that's what happened for us", "everything happens for a reason", "maybe ...

Good question! We are currently saving $ for ICSI - our plan is to live a simpler lifestyle and save money - less going out, less shopping, etc. At the same time, we do allow ourselves a life and enjoy many weekends at home playing games or watching movies, entertaining at home.
